[Verse 1]
Morning light on the tin roof
Kettle hum in the yard
You put your hand in mine, baby
And the whole rough world feel soft
Old scars in the red dirt
New seed in the clay
We been bent, not broken
Still we rise today
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold me close, hold me true
Let the fear wash through
Every wrong we walked through
Led me back to you
[Chorus]
Standing in grace, standing in grace
We keep on standing in grace
(standing in grace)
With a love that heals the place
And a fire no rain can chase
(standing in grace)
[Verse 2]
Children laugh by the mango tree
Bare feet in the dew
Your eyes say what your mouth won't say
I was made to walk with you
When the night came heavy
And the road went thin
You were a steady candle
That I followed in
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold me close, hold me true
Let the fear wash through
Every wrong we walked through
Led me back to you
[Chorus]
Standing in grace, standing in grace
We keep on standing in grace
(standing in grace)
With a love that heals the place
And a fire no rain can chase
(standing in grace)
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Let the river take the bitter
Let the river take the pain
What was lost in the darkness
Can be born again
Hush now, darling
Hear the promise grow
Even in the broken ground
Good things know
[Final Chorus]
Standing in grace, standing in grace
We keep on standing in grace
(standing in grace)
With a love that heals the place
And a fire no rain can chase
(standing in grace)
Standing in grace, standing in grace
Till the whole yard sing your name
(standing in grace)
What was wounded learns to bloom
In the honey after rain
